I didn't have any other title in mind, so I thought I would just use today. It's strange to get up and just lay around and play knowing you will still make it to church later on. We have our VBS Celebration Sunday today, but I don't have to be there until 11:00 and when your first child wakes up at 6:15 that gives you a whole lot of play time.

I probably should have started this out by saying Happy Father's Day to my husband, but we kind of celebrated yesterday. Sort of. He had to deliver a baby on Friday and she didn't deliver until 3:00 that morning and he was too tired to drive down the street to come home so he stayed there. People outside his room were too noisy for him to sleep, so he didn't. He got home around 8:00 and we gave him our cards and gift, even though Christopher told him what it was 3 times before it was opened. (Note: do not wrap gifts in front of Chrisotpher anymore.) We had breakfast and played for a little while before putting Sophie and Brandon down for naps. It took the whole time she napped for me to talk Christopher into going somewhere, so it was a good thing she woke up after an hour. We loaded up and headed to Chick-A-Fla and passed McDonald's on the way. Christopher wanted to go there, but I told him we weren't. He calls it Make-On-Donald's. I love it! After a quick lunch and no play area, we went across the street to Walmart. I told the kids they could pick out a new coloring book or puzzle. Sophie was very excited, but Christopher turned down every option I gave him and left with nothing. I bought tons of spray paint for my chairs and hope to have them painted soon. From there we went to Lowe's to buy some flowers, with no success. They didn't have what I wanted (had a page from BHG in hand) and I found out that one of the plants grows from 3-8 feet tall, so she had no clue why they put it in a pot. She showed me a hanging plant they had on sale that was perfect for the area. I bought it. Christopher was crying miserably by this point b/c he didn't want to buy flowers and he was so hot, so we left. We actually had to drive-thru Chick-fil-a to get more drinks b/c it was so hot! I had to put napkins under my legs b/c they were sweating in the leather seats so bad. By the time we got home, the napkins had practically melted. And I don't think I'm a gross sweaty person, but it's seriously that hot out!

Brandon was awake when we got home, so we showed him our new coloring book and then put the kids down for naps. I showered, I think I put it on cold b/c warm was even too hot! (sad isn't it!) We went to a welcome to the new residents party last night and it was fun to meet the new families. They had a bouncy thing outside, which C went nuts for, but we had to ban him to the house after a while b/c he was so red and sweaty. I think he only went potty 3 times all day b/c he was so hot! And he had a lot to drink! I don't like this weather at all. It's ruining the plans I had for outside the first few weeks the kids would be in MDO. Oh well. I will have to suck it up I guess.

Anyway, Brandon is on call again today and we miss him, but really, really looking forward to next weekend when he won't have to step one foot in that hospital from Friday afternoon to Monday morning. I better go, Christopher is in need of some attention and my bacon is ready for breakfast. Stay cool!!!!!
